Companies have paid more than $100,000 in bitcoin as ransom to a group of blackmailers in order to prevent cyberattacks.

I read it and author already messed some facts pretty badly, in article we can read that:Companies have paid more than $100,000 in bitcoin as ransom to a group of blackmailers in order to prevent cyberattacks. In fact, fraudsters have not made a single hack. http://www.coinfox.info/news/5387-fake-hackers-collect-more-than-100-000-in-ransom "a medical centre was forced to pay $17 million in bitcoins to extortionists, who hacked into their system." From what I know it was $17 thousands! Not millions. So other numbers in this article could be wrong as well. |
